John- My wife is descended from a John Henderson in NJ and then a ,I
believe, a Phineas who went up toward Syracuse. Her family is on a site in
Syracuse. What do you know about the ancient Hendersons. I think I have a
John on a ship and he is on it under protest. Bob and Tracie Henderson

>> Hi Bud,
>> I don't have anything on Mahlon Johnston born in Anthony in 1802, but
>> there was a Mahlon Johnson who was born June 12, 1791, son of Jacob
>> Johnson (1754-1846) and Sarah Garrison (1752-1853) of East Amwell. This
>> Mahlon Johnson married Mary Evans 23 August 1823 (by Justice of the
>> Peace Clifford according to Deats). They had several children including
>> infants who were buried with Mahlon & Mary at Grandin Cemetery across
>> from the Bethlehem Presbyterian Church on Race Street. One daughter who
>> reached maturity was Sarah E. Johnson. She married William Apgar in
>> February 1851 then sadly died in December the same year. William Apgar
>> died 5 years later (1856) at the age of 26.
>> If you are still interested in this Mahlon's parents then they are one
>> of Hunterdon's most illustrious couples. Jacob fought in the Revolution
>> and after his marriage to Sarah Garrison and the maturity of most of
>> their children, moved the entire family from East Amwell to Hamden, Union
>> Township, and joined the Bethlehem church community, dying at age 92. His
>> wife produced 11 surviving children and died at age 101. Both are buried
>> in Grandin Cemetery along with numerous children, grand-children, and
>> great-grandchildren. Fred Sisser created a notebook of information on
>> Hunterdon Co. Revolutionary War soldiers which can be viewed at the
>> Hunterdon Co Historical Soc library in Flemington and Jacob is featured.
>> But if you are looking for a Johnston and not a Johnson connection, then
>> "this ain't them" as the saying goes and I apologize.
